Lichina is a genus of lichens in the family Lichinaceae.[1] The genus contains seven species.[2] These cyanolichens include maritime species such as L. pygmaea or L. confinis, in which the associated cyanobiont has been assigned to the genus Rivularia. Furthermore, evidence of a high specificity of each mycobiont towards particular cyanobiont lineages in both species has been detected.[3]
